    I want to thank your parents for putting down roots in Singapore and raising you so well. Please stay, and raise your own families here.

    They are 110% locals through and through, doesn’t matter if they have attained citizenship or not. Just hearing them speak in their distinct Singlish makes them Singaporean. Love this interview, Nancy is so articulate and well-spoken; Wendy is simply gorgeous.

    Ahhh…such a heartwarming story. So glad you guys were able to make Singapore your home. So happy that there were kind and friendly people that extended friendship to you. We are enriched by people such as you. Here, or Tanzania, home is where our heart is. All of us have a home of our origin, and a place we choose to make our home. Sometimes they are the same, sometimes not. You guys are beyond doubt, Singaporeans. 🥰🥰🥰

      Wonderful advice! Indeed Singapore is a safe place for cultural diversity. Many Americans of diverse backgrounds wish mainstream Americans can think like that. “There’s no look to being American” is a phrase I hope to hear in my lifetime, and I hope one day the phrase “the more I wonder the more I love” comes true.

    I came across this RUclips video by accident. As I was driving I just let the phone rolled onto automatically to the next video. I am so lucky and happy that I watched this one. Three such fine, mature people who have made this place their home. I actually teared at the end. Wish you three the very best in your endeavours.

    What a great but also accurate slogan: Singapore doesn’t have just one look, but it has a distinct sound. So simple, yet so true. When we’re overseas in a foreign land, we recognise our fellow Singaporeans not by how they look, but by how they sound.

    Even though Singapore has majority Chinese but I never felt that growing up. I grew up with my Malay neighbours and my Indian tutors. We never felt any different and I embrace the diversity even more now. There was once I saw on YT that foreigners felt that Singaporeans respected them as a person first instead of skin colour. It made me proud as a Singaporean. We love people / foreigners that embrace Singapore‘s diversity.

    Being singaporean is a sound. Thats interesting. I would certainly agree, but i also dont really like my singaporean sound because its too informal and borderline chor lor. When i listen back to how i sound, the words are quite unclear. Orrrr maybe its a me problem 😂😂😂😂😂 but if you compare how a korean speaks english, i find that accent really professional sounding.

      (take it as a friend talking to you ) i think its your ...our unique singaporean kind of inferiority , it took me a long long time to get over it and be proud of my accent (but you gotta understand that our accent and our singlish is 2 different things )
      you can speak proper english with our singapore accent without the la leh lors and aiyahs.

    • @abuandkiki3037
      @abuandkiki3037 5 месяцев назад

      like they said theyre going back to their roots, yes they spent most of their time in singapore so their culture is mainly singaporean but being born a tanzanian of course they would feel the need to learn more about their culture based on their ethnicity, basically based on nationality yes their culture is singaporean but based on ethnicity they would want to learn about their culture as a tanzanian, would you say that my culture as a malay is one of the same as the culture of being a singaporean?

    • @AR-ek1jr
      @AR-ek1jr 5 месяцев назад

      @abuandkiki3037 yes i actually would say that. Your Malay culutre is of a Singaporean Malay culture. If you were to go back to your roots and go to Malaysia, you may find that their Malay culture may be slightly different from ours. We are only as Malay as our food and what we wear for raya, tbh.
      For e.g, i see this in African Americans, too. Born and raised in the US, never been to any African country, but since their parent is from lets say Kenya, and suddenly they are Kenians.
